Hollywood ‘Green’

Now that Green Environmentalism is both Politically Correct and Religiously Acceptable (no matter what kind of church you do or do not attend), everybody is eager to be seen on the bandwagon. I personally believe there’s a big difference between that which helps the environment, and that which mostly makes it look like you are helping the environment.

Politicians, I’m afraid to announce, tend to fall on the look-what-I-did side of the fence.

Don’t get me wrong, by the way. I believe it is our God given duty to care for the planet given into our safekeeping. I also believe that this is one of the few legitimate roles of government, as market forces alone will not preserve the common pond. I object to expensive policies that are based on poor science and are unlikely to accomplish the stated goal. See The Law of Unintended Consequences.
